MAx-OT

[DaCypher]

Yep, been following it for 6 months with great results.
Short and fast.
But I tweak it by putting in some "light" weeks in here and there. Heavy lifting for such a long time is B-O-R-I-N-G!

Thats funny, I would say that light lifting is pretty boring, I live for the heavy stuff...

I agree, but then anything done for too long becomes tedious. So I think a bit of periodisation has its place. Just made some great gains on my 2 light weeks after 8 weeks of heavy.
Now I'm really amped for the heavy again!

My first day trying it and man i got a workout like never before. they always say that intensity is needed to grow, well this program is perfect for that. Worked my back and man i'm still shaking. I never thought 6 reps would be enough but 6 reps is just fine when your trying to move that type of weight.

I'm using it right now - the only problem is the order of the workouts in some of the routines. For example, in week 1 they have you work legs on Monday and then the upper body work Tuesday - Friday. That doesn't work for a lot of people (like me) - if I worked upper body four days in a row, I'd be the poster boy for the Tendonitis and Joint Pain Club. So I keep their workouts but rearrange the order: chest, legs, arms, off, shoulders, back, off. That way I never work upper body more than two days in a row, and lets me keep chest and shoulder workouts as far apart as possible.

I just re-arranged everything. The main thing i liked about the workouts is that i never thought i could go so heavy. It's mind over muscles folks. 6 reps is the best. Enables you to lift heavy while keeping your concentration on form. Works wonders.

Max OT

I've been following Max-OT protocol for a while and have been amazed with the results. My strength has gone through the freaking roof. You've gotta do this.

MAX-OT rules.

I just took a week off of training and started a Max OT style program this week. It's brutal. I like it! I still feel pain from Monday's work out (it's Fri. now). I had been working out in the 8 rep range for the last few months. Who'd think there'd be such a difference between doing 8 reps vs doing 6. I really like the warm up/acclimation thing: True warm-up w/o fatigue. I can tell this is going to give me some good gains if I can keep up the intensity. Cheers to Max OT!
